Things are pretty much the same here too, everyday we sit
in the classroom and learn and get one hour of freedom. It´s exciting
though because around this time next week I´ll be in the real world
trying to speak the language. I´m understanding a lot more with the
language though and slowly am speaking it more. We went proselyting Saturday and that got me way excitied for the field. This time was
different then last time though because instead of getting a hour to
give out all the book of mormons we got thirty minutes. But we were
still able to do it so that was the best part! I heard Larua is engaged
now so that´s exciting news! This weekend will be different then all the
rest because of conferance, it´s going to be great but also be hard
because we looked at the scheuduale and it´s sitting in the plastic
seats for at least 7 hours and not being able to leave. It´s crazy
though because it feels last we just got here and now on monday we are
having our final day here, I can´t wait for that. Oh there is also a kid
in our distric that they call him Joseph Smith because he looks like he
would have when he was 14, so when people left there was a line out the
door wanting to take pictures with that kid.

It sounds like a party down at our house last weekend, Hows everyone
doing? I saw the picture of everyone at our house and realized ryan said
he was going to email me every week and I still haven´t gotten one from
him yet. Things are good here right now though, each day the language
gets a little better and each day goes by a little faster, The weeks are
flying but the days feel so long it´s hard to explain. It feels like P
day just barley happened. Only one more P day though and it´s off to the
real world outside the CTM where they won´t feed you every meal and you
don´t sit down for 16 hours a day. I´m excited though, I feel ready to
leave but also feel like I need another month here to get the language
better. But It will come.

Thank you so much for the birthday wishes, it was a way fun day because
we got to go prostituting (proselyting) that day, we had to give out 6 book of Mormons
in like a hour. We gave them all way away though so thats all good, it
was a challenge though, first to get the people to stop was pretty hard
so bus stops were our friend the whole time, also people just sitting
down we loved to try to talk to them. We met a way cool guy that was
just sitting down and chilling that already had a book of mormon, be he
helped us give one of them out and we talked to him for about 15
minuites, he did some sort of street art and was pretty good at it also.
We had a divotional on sunday and in one of the talk he said a way cool
line where it´s better to be trusted then loved. other then that all he
did was talk about repentance. then we had a talk tuesday by Holand
that was from like 2014 but still was way good. It was about missionary
work the whole time and our purpose and that got me way excited for the
field to go out and try to talk to people. Last p day when we were
walking around we found a place and got a real nike soccer jersery for
only like 17 bucks in america and that got me pumped! Other then that
nothing big has really happened, we still teach every day neilly and
darmaris, those are going good right now. Other then that its the same
thing every day now, but hopfully i will have more for you next week.

things are going really good here this week was a lot
more fun honeslty. It was baiscily the same as every other day but we
wentent brand new to the mission anymore. Since last p day nothing big
has happened, we went to the police station one day to do some stuff for
our visa or something like that, i didnt really know what they were
saying or if they were even speaking portagues beause they were talking
so fast, but we had a good time there, it took a couple of hours so we
missed a lot of the day. We also have been continuing our lessons with
Neilly and Darmiese and weve gotten them both to commit to baptizem and
that was really exciting, we also starting a thing called trc which is
teaching new members and not investigaers. those are a little bit
tougher because it´s not like a normal lesson instead of being 20
minutes its 30 minutes. That doesn´t seem like a big difference until
you´re trying to talk to someone in a language you don´t know all that
well so you´re asking every question from a book we have to waste time.
But things are coming a long, during the lessons im understanding what
they are talking about and know how to reply in english but not in
poratagues so you just sit there thinking as hard as you can trying to
think of the words. That´s really the hard part right now is that. But
the trio also got split up this week because a new guy from the provo
mtc got his visa approved so it´s just me and elder Marrow now, but its
way fun to be with him hes a funny dude. It´s also easier just to look
out for one person instead of two now. We also had a talk from Neil A.
Anderson and got to shake is hand and that was a way cool experiance, in
his talk he said don´t worry everything will work out, and also that
he´s talked to president monson before about missionaies and how
important their work is, and about how much he loves us, which is
exaclty what i needed to hear at the moment. I´m glad things are going
good down there right now, don´t worry about me down here things are
going good, and just will keep getting better. last thing we get to go
prosulting this saturday on in the real world, so that is going to be
fun but scary to do, and also we went to the temple today but they
didn´t have us to a english session, we had to do the poragues unlike
last week, it was honeslty so cool to do though.
